About Me |
|
| I am a tastemaker, rocking the world as a funky fusion of Congo, Belgium, passion, glam, humour, energy and style. I am passionate, sensitive, imaginative, intuitive, dreamy and an escapist.
Miss Bipolarity is my middle name, since I've been strutting my stuff both in the art world as the fashion scene a for quite a while now. In the past I've worked for the Museum of Modern Art - Belgium, W139 in Amsterdam, Objectif_exhibitions Antwerp, Diesel, Zara and Boxfresh London, operating as an art historian, fashion expert, project coordinator, curator and columnist.
My persona and style can be described as a breath of afrolicious and soulful fresh air. African playfulness is always present in all of my concepts, workwise and private.
I'm always looking for a change and a challenge. So if u like what u read, give me a holla! If I like what you wrote, I'll get back to you. |
